If you have a donor truck would it be possible to swap the 460 from an F250 to an F150,


Donor 90 F250 4x4 my truck 93 302 4x4 both trucks are auto




i would rather do a 351 because its an easier swap but all i can find here are 302's and 4.9's

 

Yes but be aware the crossmember on the 460 truck is chamfered to allow for the oil filter/cooler assy. and your 302 crossmember is not, so you will need to fit a remote oil filter *or* modify your crossmember. Also the motor mount perches are different, but from what I could see when I did mine (converted to 460 from 300 Six, but have a 302 Bronco with the motor out) the 460 motor mounts could be modified to fit the 302/351 perches - just need to cut one of the studs off of the 460 mount.

 

JAS88, do you happen to have any pics of your swap or doing the swap?

 

a 150 frame is a little weak for a heavy motor like a 460 though isnt it?

 

Do the remote oil filter method if possible. It's a better option in my opinion so you don't go cutting on stuff, plus you can put your oil filter in an even easier to reach place.

 

No, sorry, I was in a hurry to get the truck on the road so I did not document my swap. I am covered in shame.

 

no biggy, if i do the swap ill make sure to document it, did you swap all the 4wd stuff or did you use what you currently had?

 

I bought my truck from my BIL who bought it new. It was originally 300 Six, E4OD auto, 2WD, bench seat, manual locks and windows. Now it is 460, ZF5, 4WD, captain's chairs, PL and PW. Didn't do it all at once, tho, the 460 was the last thing. The 4x4 stuff came from an 89 Bronco. The 460 came from a 90 F250.

 

Oh yeah I forgot you will need a complete underhood wiring harness from a 92-94 460 truck because the 460 has a remote-mount ignition module and your 302 has it on the distributor. The one from your donor truck won't work because the bulkhead connector (where it plugs into the firewall) is different on your 93 truck.
